About the Fairfield Cultural Alliance:
In 2005, the Fairfield Cultural Alliance helped create a state-designated Cultural District in Fairfield. In 2019, the FCA successfully secured re-designation for Fairfield Cultural and Entertainment District from the state of Iowa, published the 2019 edition of the Heritage Tour booklet, and organized the second World Fair Field International Festival in September.
Despite the challenges posed in 2020, 2021, and 2022, the FCA continued their mission by producing a revised edition of the Heritage Tour booklet and distributing Cultural Trust Fund Mini-Grants. Collaborations with the Fairfield Volunteer Center and the Fairfield Parks and Recreation Department aimed to keep our city parks free from litter, while an ongoing Community Survey assesses how the FCA can further enhance its services to the community.
We invite you to join us in celebrating the renaissance of arts and culture in Fairfield and look forward to your participation.
The Fairfield Cultural Alliance (FCA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering and promoting arts, culture, history, and creative expression in Fairfield, Iowa. The FCA plays a pivotal role in preserving and enriching the cultural heritage of our vibrant community. Visit http://fairfieldculturaldistrict.org for more information.
